Dead Cells 2021 Guide - Tips to Beat 4BC w/ Example Run (Veteran Guides)

I'm still struggling with 4BC runs but heavy crossbow survival build has gotten me to the HOTK more than any other weapon. It's nearly useless without pierce, but with it you can 1-shot pretty much every enemy and whatever is behind them. By the time you get to somewhere like clock tower or King's Castle, you will be 1-shotting elite enemies too. Love it

I’m just sayin: frostbite + frost blast = gg ez in biomes. Bat + trap + ice grenade = gg ez against most bosses

I beat 4BC and i stuck 5BC

What happens if you kill the giant and die in the hotk?

The Giant gives you the 5th bc, so you could have just stopped there.

I thought you had to beat giant to get the 5th boss cell

Survival and tactics are my favorite builds
... followed closely by brutality. All the weapons are fun in this game.

With the new DLC and update items magic missile has never been more fun. Running around with my own little lightning shield, and a flame thrower turrent... sooo much dot and build up.

The only prob with 4bc is that it is extremely discouraging. 1 hit by zombies and the entire bar gone on second biome BTW

I keep forgetting about the Homonculus Rune to draw in enemies without aggroing the whole floor lol. Guess it never hurts to go over guides like these

I've been playing Dead cells for over a half year now and for almost 4 months, I didn't have any progress but 2 weeks ago I beat the hand of the king from 0BC to 3BC. I'm currently in 4BC and all I could say is Gah Deymn, so hard. And always remember that we have our own way of progressing forward. And my build is Explosive Crossbow, and parry shield in my backpack, mutation is Armadillo pack, no mercy, and YOLO. Just roll around when the hand of the king throws bombs so you can deflect them and make them your own, easier life 👍

I reached 4BC without using a shield (187hrs in as of now), not planning to use it in the future either. I just cannot master it. Also, I think CM is sort of cheating coz I believe that's not how the game was meant to be played. It's all about drawing the weapons and skills, ur luck and how well u can adapt to different fighting styles throughout the run. U rightfully mentioned that's what brings the fun and has people come back again and again and again trying to beat the game. Thanks for the video!

i would never get to 4 bc without continuation mode KEKW.

Bro, I really hope your channel grows!!!

my highest damage was 100000 (crit)

I got my 5bc through custom mode. So i beated the Giant on 4bc with Custom mode settings (That probably disabled achievements).
When i now run a Normal 4bc run to beat the Giant again do i still get the Steam Achievement for Absorbing the 5th BC ? Or did i locked myself now out of that and have to do a New Safefile basicly to get this Achievement ?

How did you get the last two scrolls? You had 28 when you beat the Giant. And then you immediately went to the throne room. So how'd you get those 2 scrolls?

good shop

Damn, I thought 2bc wall was tough.. 4bc is absolutely brutal in comparison. I knew this game was difficult but wow!

Judging how good a color is by how much health you get from it is dumb lol

I made 42 tactics !

Whenever I try to beat 4BC, I kill HOTK and he just gives me a note saying “investigate the giant” or some nonsense…who is the giant? I want to play 5BC how do I do that

Some mutations got nerfed Gastronomie heals now 65% and not 100% so dont be shocked guys

Im taking sometimes way to much damage on elite enemies

I know custom mode is not cheating but c'mon
We all wanted to beat a game legitimately
Except for people that wanted not to struggle, i accept that

Is it just me or on 4 BC the Hand of the king can't be rooted or stun

how do you get the shop to be all the same colours?

I tried to master the parrying at 0BC and im glad i did

Sill not 5% but im getting to 5BC even if its the last thing I do in this game

A 3 bc player (can't even beat any of the first set of bosses) watching a 4 bc guide be like:
Yep, that's it.
Aha.
Aha!
Got it.

Dies in the second biome immediately
Edit/Update: I finally got to 4 bc with the weirdest combo I've done: Spite Sword + Face Flask (The Unkillable)

I use the 3x the recovery time,vampirism,meat skier sword,giant killer,and last but not least ice armor,Ice armor is important so when you are low in life you use ice armor to be able to tank any 1 hit and then use vampirism,jump into a group of monsters and use meat skier and wala all you hp is almost full,also equip talent that slows enemies down when you hit them and the one that increases defense and attack both are in red talents,and increase red only and if you cant increase green,when you do both you power up giant killer,this has worked for me anywhere from no cell to I am currently on 5 cells,also before you die instantly restart game and you will be able to re start last saving point,but when you defeat the last bad guy,you have to kill yourself in spikes because the game won't let you restart game,all data is saved

Just got into 4 bc and i cant even get out of prisoners wuaters now

5bc please

I was stuck on 4BC for so long coming close a few times. Beat it today but i didnt unlock 5BC...apparently you need to kill the giant ;(

War Spear isn't actually that bad of a weapon, in 2.4 I'm assuming this is from 2.4 since it's buffed, it has a pretty good biome clear in brutality since you can use it with Killer instinct for your skills and Predator to close the distance to your enemies, you just need a weapon like Sadist Stilleto or Rapier on your backpack to deal with bosses

damn. 4bc seems really intimidating so far, but i managed the previous difficulties as well, so i know i can do it.

I go to hand of the king at 4 bc fight him just to realize that you got to fight the giant

Tysm, I jus got the 5th bsc

after leaving the game for about 3-4 months I'm trying to finish it in 4BC....

I'm suffering

laughs in Armadillopack

I was surprised they used harder better faster stronger as the name of achievement, until I saw they were a French studio

Only 4%? I'm not as bad as I thought

I did it yesterday! =D 4 BC Yeeaaaahhh! Thank you.

Started two weeks ago, just got to 4Bc , what a rush! So in love with this game..

Still can not beat HOTK on 4BC. I never have anything left for backup at that point.

Just beat 4 bc with cursed sword only as yea

I just beat 3 bc with cursed sword

Thoughts on using Armadillopack to parry instead of holding a shield?

Omgggg yessss. I am stuck on 4bc for so long now. The for sharing such valuable knowledge!
